The pre-season has been consumed with the issue of Vince Wilfork's contract extension. There is no doubt of his value to the defensive line and team overall. From what I've been hearing and reading, I think the Pats will let Wilfork play through this season without addressing his contract.
The NFL CBA expires after next season. This will lead to an uncapped year. Without a new CBA ,here could be a lockout for the 2011 season.
The Pats have the option of slapping the franchise tag to Wilfork after the season is over. He will be a free and will command top dollar. To complicate matters, the contracts of Brady and Seymour expire after the 2010 season.
A long range plan needs to be done, but with the unclear picture of the CBA, I think the Pats will wait until the last minute to make decisions on player contracts.
